14.Betty and Harold have been married for years.But one thing still puzzles old Harold.How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa,talking,go out to a ballgame,come back three and a half hours later,and they're still sitting on the sofa?Talking?What in the world,Harold wonders,do they have to talk about?
Betty shrugs.Talk?We're friends.
Researching this matter called friendship,psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men.No matter what their age,their job,their sex,the results were completely clear:women have more friendships than men,and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is"marked and unmistakable."
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend.Those who could were likely to name a woman.Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend,and almost always it was a woman.More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend,most trusted person,or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机)."Most women,"says Rubin,"identified at least one,usually more trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment,and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives."
"In general,"writes Rubin in her new book,"women's friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support,but men's relationships are marked by shared activities."For the most part,Rubin says,interactions between men are emotionally controlled---a good fit with the social requirements of"manly behavior."
"Even when a man is said to be a best friend,"Rubin writes,"the two share little about their innermost feelings.Whereas a woman's closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage,it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."

分析 使哈罗德迷惑不解的是当他外出打球三个半小时后,发现妻子和她的朋友仍然坐在沙发上交谈.他不明白为什么女人会有那么多东西相互分享.心理学家鲁宾的研究表明,女人更愿意同朋友分享自己的内心感受,而男人却不愿把隐私告诉他人.
解答 32.B 细节理解题.根据文章最后一段中的"Whereas a woman's closest female friend mightbe the time to tell her to leave a failing marriage…",当一个女人发生感情危机时,她常常把这件事告诉自己的女性朋友.所以鲁宾的研究表明,为了寻求情感上的支持,一个结了婚的女人更有可能向女性朋友求助,故选B.
33.C 细节理解题.根据文章最后一句"it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn'tknow his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one nightasking if he could sleep on the sofa."可知一个男人如果不知道自己朋友的婚姻处于危机当中很正常,这也从反面说明了在一般情况下,男人不向自己的朋友抱怨自己的婚姻危机,故选C.
34.D 细节理解题.根据文章最后一段中的"…the two share little about their inner mostfeelings"这两个人很少分享他们内心深处的感受,可知男人们不愿把隐私告诉他人,他们把内心的情感留给自己,故选D.
35.A 主旨大意题.通读全文可以得出结论,心理学家鲁宾主要研究的是两性在对待友谊上的区别,所以他的研究中心是有关男人和女人的朋友关系问题,故选A.
